WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW invites applications for the position of Director of its new Immigration Law Clinic. The Clinic will begin operation in the Fall semester 2018 and join the Law School’s eighteen other law clinic and externships (see http://law.wustl.edu/clinicaled).

The Immigration Clinic, through its second- and third-year law students, will provide free legal assistance on immigration related matters to individuals who cannot otherwise afford the services of an attorney. Clinic students will assist clients on matters such as naturalization, deportation, adjustment of status, and asylum.

The Director is expected to oversee all aspects of the Clinic, including the teaching of students (through one-on-one tutorials and a weekly seminar), supervision of and responsibility for student casework, identification and selection of clients, and administration of the office and staff. The Director will also teach non-clinic courses each year.
